Crunchy sticking gears
Hi all, I desperately need a bit of help. I've got a naked K2 which the gears are being really temperamental, sometimes I can flick through them nice & smoothly other times it just won't change - quite often after starting off it gets stuck in first but if I slow right down or stop it'll let me change.
From reading other threads so far I've tried: Cleaning behind the sprocket cover Fresh oil - which I then drained some so it's just over min mark cos it was still happening. I was told today it was because the chain was dry so that's now lubed but the same guy who told me this said it would probably take a week to rectify itself. Obviously I've got my fingers crossed to see if it works but I'm new to this & can't see how the chain could affect the gears? So just after some opinions, could it be due to the chain? any other ideas? a little terrified of a big bill problem! |

Re: Crunchy sticking gears
I'd try properly adjusting the chain, as it sounds like a overly loose chain

Re: Crunchy sticking gears
the chain should have between 20 and 30mm of play/ slack on the main stand (in the SV's case the side stand)
